4 Bedroom Penthouse in St Jamess Park, London

Some homes just have a certain atmosphere from the very first step inside. This four bedroom penthouse at Oceanic House in St Jamess Park gave me one of those moments. I actually paused near the wide entry and just listened for a second. All you hear is quiet. Even though you are right in the heart of the West End it just feels calm up here above it all. The building itself has a real story. Oceanic House used to be the headquarters for the White Star Line you know the folks behind the Titanic. There is a bit of that golden age character in the way the lobby has been kept. Little things like the polished banisters and the way the marble floors shine in the afternoon.

When you head into the duplex itself the space opens out over two levels and honestly it is more like a real house than a typical apartment. The main living floor feels bright even on quieter days when London is misty. The reception room is the kind of place where you almost want to start a fire in the old fireplace and just have a book in your lap and maybe you would never get bored of those skyline views that float in from the big windows. Standing there the first time I caught myself just watching the clouds move across London. Sometimes you almost forget your phone.

This penthouse really does feel like you are cut off from the city and yet so close at the same time. When it comes to the kitchen it actually feels like somewhere you could cook something real. Not just warm up a ready meal and walk away. There is room to eat in plus that easy access to the big formal dining room. If you imagine hosting friends or family occasionally it all just makes sense how it connects. Up here most of these rooms on the upper floor open onto a rooftop terrace so you get the whole city laid out in every direction. The skyline views really are something you should see for yourself. Every now and then you hear church bells off in the distance. Sometimes you can spot someone cycling in St Jamess Park far below.

Bedrooms are all genuinely large. No worries about squeezing in furniture or wondering where it all goes. On the lower level the master suite feels like a proper retreat. You get his and hers dressing rooms and two separate bathrooms which honestly just makes mornings easier whether you are in a rush or just taking your time. The other bedrooms all have their own en suite bathrooms too. One detail I like is how much storage there actually is here. So many places try to hide it but here closets are proper sized and out in the open. Across these floors the feeling is consistently open but private at the same time which is not always easy to get in a central London penthouse.

Apart from the usual high end appliances and all the security and comfort touches you would expect in a luxury London penthouse the interior design is what quietly stands out. Morpheus London have this easy way of mixing old and new so nothing feels too formal or too modern. It is the sort of place you could see yourself actually living in not just showing off now and then. You will notice the lighting is soft but you can brighten it up when you feel like it and the bathrooms have that spa like stillness that helps you unwind if you have had a long day in the city.

Of course being in the West End puts so much of London within walking reach. You step out and Regent Street is not far and Soho is just down the road if you fancy a change of pace in the evening. Even so once you are back inside Oceanic House the buzz of the city feels miles away. Most days you might notice someone at the local café reading the paper or kids walking by with backpacks after school. Everything feels connected but never crowded.

Finding a penthouse in St Jamess Park London with this much history and honest comfort is pretty rare. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it for yourself.
